This is great advice and I feel like I’m in this category too. A lot of health and fitness info is so harsh - eat lettuce and do sweaty workouts 5 times a weeks. I’m uninterested in anyone yelling at me in boot camp or never eating a carb again. I would resent it and it be miserable. I agree sustainability is key. I’ve lost 2.5kg since January. That might seem like slow progress but I’m aiming to loose 8 to get to my ‘regular’ weight, so I reckon that’s ok. I still eat pasta and chocolate. Just less. I’m also thinking of getting a walking pad as the next step, but was worried about motivation. But I’ll try.
This is beautiful and perfect. The things I hate the most are hearing someone say
For dinner I eat grilled fish or chicken with a salad. bitch please. Do you eat that every night because if you do I'm gonna throw the salt & pepper shakers at you
If you feel like ice cream just swap it for low fat yogurt and fruit. It's not the same. Stop it.
You can eat chocolate. Make sure it's 70% dark chocolate and have 2 squares. Who the fuck does that. I'm eating half of the biggest block I can find and then I'm gonna eat the rest the next day.
Good luck to anyone who does this because I sure can't.
